    Abstract: Methods, apparatus, and systems, for interfacing one or more storage devices with a plurality of bridge chips. An apparatus may include a memory, a communication bus coupled to a device, and a processor communicatively coupled to the communication bus and the memory. The processor may be configured to implement storage traffic between a storage device and a central processor via a first storage port of a first bridge chip of a plurality of bridge chips. The processor may be further configured to multiplex, by the first bridge chip, the storage traffic to at least one bridge chip of the plurality of bridge chips, and distribute data across the plurality of bridge chips to produce a data distribution enabling each of the bridge chips to communicate with each other.

    Abstract: The present disclosure relates to examples of data hardening. In one example according to aspects of the present disclosure, a method comprises receiving, at a storage device, power loss information in a first format associated with a first protocol. The method further comprises converting, at the storage device, the power loss information in the first format to a second format associated with a second protocol, wherein converting the power loss information in the first format to the second format comprises converting one of a power loss primitive or a power loss command to one of a primitive or command for hardening data.

    Abstract: The present disclosure relates to systems and methods of device firmware update effects as seen by a computing host. In one example implementation according to aspects of the present disclosure, a method includes executing a first firmware received from a computing host, the first firmware including a first firmware revision identifier, executing a second firmware received from the computing host, and returning the first firmware revision identifier to the computing host during the execution of the second firmware and before an event occurs. The returning the first firmware revision identifier enables the computing host to continue executing without detecting an error in response to a change in a value of a returned firmware revision identifier throughout the execution of the first firmware and during execution of the second firmware.

    Abstract: A power fail protection system wherein pluralities of individual energy storage components are electrically connected to one or more SSD drives during a power failure though a power switch matrix. Typically an individual high-energy supply will be connected to one SSD drive during a power failure. The power fail protection system may also test the transient energy response of individual energy storage components, or include an imminent power fail warning connected directly to an SSD drive interface. Some embodiments further provide for identifying, reporting, and replacing weak energy storage components. High-energy supplies may be modular, or hot swappable.
